"There’s this catch-22 when you’re a survivor of rape and assault," Welch told The Daily Dot, "where you’re so excited that this is all finally happening and that these predators and abusers are finally facing consequences, but then it’s also incredibly triggering to constantly see the faces of these abusive men all over the news and social media."

She said that people can choose not to read an article that might be triggering, but a preview image loads “without warning.” Welch wanted to create something that would reduce PTSD symptoms and also give those affected by the current situation an opportunity to smile.

The description of the extension reads, "Replaces images of Weinstein / Cosby / etc. with an image of a pug in space, because seriously, f*** those guys."

The extension is modeled after Tom Royal’s Make America Kittens Again Google Chrome extension. Royal graciously shared his code with Welch and Space Pug Safe Space was born. So far, it works like a charm.

Welch told The Daily Dot that working on the extension really helped her come out of a depressive state caused by the Weinstein media storm. She hopes that Space Pug Safe Space will do the same for others.
